Many people have avoided avocados because of their fat content. Time to think again!

Yes, avocados are creamy and satisfying– they’re rich in healthy monounsaturated fats. They’re also rich in carotenoids that can actually help your body absorb nutrients better. And they’re high in potassium, folate, lutein, and fiber.

Avocados are amazingly versatile–spread them on crackers, put them in salads, top a cassarole with them. You can even use them as a heart-healthy base for raw “pudding.”

All around the globe there are monoliths and monuments from ancient civilizations erected to leave a marker of the relevance of their advanced history. These were also beacons and guidelines of the ancients who mapped out the stars with a precision that has not been equaled since.
